However, conventional forklift underframes only lift cargo by inserting forks into the bottom of the cargo, but are unable to handle barrel-shaped cargo. Therefore, a forklift underframe is proposed to increase the versatility and practicality of the forklift. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a forklift chassis to solve the problem in the prior art proposed in the above background art that the forks provided on the forklift chassis can be inserted into the bottom of the goods to lift the goods for transportation, but cannot be used to clamp and transport barrel-shaped goods.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A forklift chassis comprises: a forklift chassis body, a gantry fixedly mounted on one end of the forklift chassis body, a backstop rack slidably mounted on one end of the gantry, a plug-in rack fixedly mounted on one end of the backstop rack, and a clamping mechanism detachably mounted on one end of the backstop rack, wherein the clamping mechanism can be lifted up by the backstop rack after clamping a paint bucket.
[0006] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate is detachably mounted on one end of a sliding plate, the sliding plate is slidably mounted between two sets of guide rail grooves, the guide rail grooves are opened at both ends of the inner side of the door frame, one end of the mounting plate is rotatably mounted with a connecting arm, and the lower half of the connecting arm is fixedly mounted with a semi-arc clamp;
[0007] Wherein, a connecting plate is fixedly installed between the sliding plate and the shelf, so that the lifting and lowering of the shelf can drive the sliding plate to move forward together.
[0008] Preferably, a contact plate is extended from the lower surface of the semi-arc clamp, and the contact plate is inclined outward, so that the semi-arc clamp can drive the contact plate to rotate horizontally and fit the outer surface of the paint bucket during the process of rotating toward the center.
[0009] Preferably, the inner arc surface of the contact plate is made of rubber.
[0010] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the other end of the connecting arm, and the outer surfaces of the two groups of rotating rods are covered with strip sleeves, which are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the piston rod of the hydraulic rod, and the hydraulic rod is detachably mounted on one end of the shelf.
[0011] Preferably, the hydraulic rod can pull the rotating rod to drive the two sets of connecting arms to rotate synchronously toward the center during the process of lifting the strip sleeve through the piston rod, and can make the semi-arc clamp at the other end of the connecting arm synchronously move toward the center to achieve clamping.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. Through the design of the door frame, the shelf and the clamping mechanism, when a forklift is used to clamp and transfer the paint bucket, the clamping mechanism can be fixed to one end of the shelf at one end of the forklift chassis body by bolts. Then, the staff can drive the forklift to drive the clamping mechanism to the outer surface of the paint bucket and start the clamping mechanism to clamp the paint bucket inside. After the paint bucket is clamped, it can be lifted by the shelf for transportation.

Then, the staff can drive the forklift to drive one end of the mounting plate to rotate the installed semi-arc clamp sleeve on the outer surface of the paint bucket and start the hydraulic rod to lift the strip sleeve. When the strip sleeve is lifted, it can pull the rotating rod to drive the two sets of connecting arms to rotate and move closer to the center synchronously, so that the semi-arc clamp at the other end of the connecting arm can drive the contact plate to move closer to the center synchronously to achieve the function of clamping the paint bucket, and the semi-arc clamp moves toward the center. During the process of rotating and approaching, the contact plate will be driven to rotate horizontally and clamp more tightly on the outer surface of the paint bucket. Then the shelf can be started to lift. When lifting, the shelf will drive the sliding plate fixed at one end of the connecting plate to slide upward together in the guide groove, so that the shelf and the sliding plate can drive the mounting plate and the hydraulic rod to lift, thereby realizing the function of lifting the paint bucket from the ground. The combined design of the semi-arc clamp and the hydraulic rod makes the structure adaptable to paint buckets of different sizes. No matter whether it is a smaller or larger bucket, it can be effectively clamped and lifted by adjusting the opening and closing of the clamp, thereby increasing the applicability and flexibility of the forklift.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figures 1-4 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:
[0022] A forklift chassis comprises: a forklift chassis body 1, a gantry 101 fixedly mounted on one end of the forklift chassis body 1, a backstop shelf 103 slidably mounted on one end of the gantry 101, a plug-in shelf fixedly mounted on one end of the backstop shelf 103, a clamping mechanism 2 detachably mounted on one end of the backstop shelf 103, and the clamping mechanism 2 can be driven and lifted by the backstop shelf 103 after clamping a paint bucket.
[0023] Through the design of the door frame 101, the shelf 103 and the clamping mechanism 2, when a forklift is used to clamp and transport the paint bucket, the clamping mechanism 2 can be fixedly installed on one end of the shelf 103 at one end of the forklift chassis body 1 by bolts, and then the staff can drive the forklift to drive the clamping mechanism 2 to be mounted on the outer surface of the paint bucket and start the clamping mechanism 2 to clamp the paint bucket inside. After the paint bucket is clamped, it can be lifted by the shelf 103 for transportation. The assembly of the clamping mechanism 2 allows the staff to complete the clamping and transportation of the paint bucket by only driving the forklift, without the need for additional manpower adjustment or binding, making the operation more convenient and improving the overall work efficiency. Especially in the scenario where paint buckets need to be frequently transported, the efficiency improvement is particularly obvious, thereby increasing the versatility and practicality of the forklift.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 203, which is detachably mounted on one end of a sliding plate 104. The sliding plate 104 is slidably mounted between two sets of guide rail grooves 102. The guide rail grooves 102 are opened at both ends of the inner side of the door frame 101. One end of the mounting plate 203 is rotatably mounted with a connecting arm 204, and the lower half of the connecting arm 204 is fixedly mounted with a semi-arc clamp 205.
[0025] A connecting plate 105 is fixedly installed between the sliding plate 104 and the shelf 103 , so that the lifting and lowering of the shelf 103 can drive the sliding plate 104 to move forward together.
[0026] A contact plate 207 is extended from the lower surface of the semi-arc clamp 205, and the contact plate 207 is tilted outward, so that the semi-arc clamp 205 can drive the contact plate 207 to rotate horizontally and fit the outer surface of the paint bucket during the process of rotating toward the center.
[0027] The inner arc surface of the contact plate 207 is made of rubber.
[0028] The other end of the connecting arm 204 is rotatably mounted with a rotating rod 206. The outer surfaces of the two sets of rotating rods 206 are covered with strip sleeves 202. The strip sleeves 202 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 201. The hydraulic rod 201 is detachably mounted on one end of the shelf 103.
[0029] When the hydraulic rod 201 lifts the strip sleeve 202 through the piston rod, it can pull the rotating rod 206 to drive the two sets of connecting arms 204 to rotate and move closer to the center synchronously, so that the semi-arc clamp 205 at the other end of the connecting arm 204 can move closer to the center synchronously to achieve clamping.
[0030] Through the design of the hydraulic rod 201, the strip sleeve 202, the mounting plate 203, the connecting arm 204, the semi-arc clamp 205 and the contact plate 207, when a forklift is needed to clamp and transport the paint bucket, the mounting plate 203 and the hydraulic rod 201 can be respectively installed on the sliding plate 104 and one end of the shelf 103 through threads. Then, the staff can drive the forklift to drive one end of the mounting plate 203 to rotate and install the semi-arc clamp 205 on the outer surface of the paint bucket and start the hydraulic rod 201 to lift the strip sleeve 202. When the strip sleeve 202 is lifted, it can pull the rotating rod 206 to drive the two sets of connecting arms 204 to rotate and move closer to the center synchronously, so that the semi-arc clamp 205 at the other end of the connecting arm 204 can drive the contact plate 207 to move closer to the center synchronously to achieve the function of clamping the paint bucket. The semi-arc clamp 205 rotates and moves closer to the center, which drives the contact plate 207 to rotate horizontally and clamp the outer surface of the paint bucket more tightly. Then the shelf 103 can be started to lift. When the shelf 103 is lifted, it drives the sliding plate 104 fixed at one end of the connecting plate 105 to slide upward together in the guide rail groove 102, so that the shelf 103 and the sliding plate 104 can drive the mounting plate 203 and the hydraulic rod 201 to lift, thereby realizing the function of lifting the paint bucket from the ground. The combined design of the semi-arc clamp 205 and the hydraulic rod 201 makes the structure adaptable to paint buckets of different sizes. No matter whether it is a small or large bucket, it can be effectively clamped and lifted by adjusting the opening and closing of the clamp, thereby increasing the applicability and flexibility of the forklift.
[0031] The working steps of this scheme are summarized and sorted out according to the above technical scheme: when a forklift is needed to clamp and transport the paint bucket, the mounting plate 203 and the hydraulic rod 201 can be respectively installed on the sliding plate 104 and one end of the shelf 103 through threads. Then, the staff can drive the forklift to drive the mounting plate 203 to rotate the installed semi-arc clamp 205 on the outer surface of the paint bucket and start the hydraulic rod 201 to lift the strip sleeve 202. When the strip sleeve 202 is lifted, it can pull the rotating rod 206 to drive the two sets of connecting arms 204 to rotate synchronously toward the center, so that the other end of the connecting arm 204 can be The semi-arc clamp 205 drives the contact plate 207 to move toward the center synchronously to achieve the function of clamping the paint bucket. In the process of the semi-arc clamp 205 rotating toward the center, it drives the contact plate 207 to rotate horizontally and more tightly fit the outer surface of the paint bucket. Then the shelf 103 can be started to lift. When the shelf 103 is lifted, it drives the sliding plate 104 fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 105 to slide upward together in the guide rail groove 102, so that the shelf 103 and the sliding plate 104 can drive the mounting plate 203 and the hydraulic rod 201 to lift, thereby realizing the lifting of the paint bucket from the ground for transportation.
[0032] In summary: through the assembly of the mounting plate 203 and the hydraulic rod 201, the staff can complete the clamping and transfer of the paint bucket by simply driving the forklift, without the need for additional manpower adjustment or binding, the operation is more convenient, and the overall work efficiency is improved. Especially in the scenario where the paint bucket needs to be frequently moved, the efficiency improvement is particularly obvious, thereby increasing the versatility and practicality of the forklift.
